Greytown. Centennial Gathering. Erstwhile residents of Greytown have already commenced to arrive in town for the Centennial celebrations, and the gathering of old settlers will be a feature of the various functions. The president of the Wairarapa Returned Soldiers’ Association has been written to asking if a massed parade of returned men could be organised, which, with the appearance of the Trentham Military Band, might influence the recruiting movement. The Wairarapa Automobile Association has agreed to arrange for cars to convey those attending the pioneers’ luncheon to the Memorial Park to witness the pageant. Girl Guides and Boy Scouts are to have a large representation in lhe massed parade and will come from all parts of the district. Among the donations received by the organiser is a cheque for £2s 2s from the P.I. and Loan Association. All donations carry a Government subsidy.
